Cabrera d'Anoia is a municipality in the region of l'Anoia. It limits to the north-west with La Torre de Claramunt, to the north with Capellades, to the north-est with Vallbona d'Anoia and to the east with Piera. To the south and west it limits with the Alt Penedès region, with the municipalities of Torrelavit, Sant Pere de Riudebitlles and Sant Quintí de Mediona. During the Second Spanish Republic the municipality was called Cabrera del Penedès. On February 4, 2007, it will stop using the name of Cabrera d'Igualada and recover the old name of the municipality that refers to the region and to the basin of the Anoia river. Cabrera, in the ancient documentation Kabraria (S. X), derives from goat in the sense of ʻlloc on hi ha cabresʼ.
